Azerbaijan to continue isolating Armenia until Karabakh conflict
settled - President Aliyev
BAKU. Sept 21
Armenia's withdrawal of its troops from Azeri territory would bring
peace to the region and stop this country's regional isolation, Azeri
President Ilham Aliyev said.
"It is in their best interests to abandon their groundless claims and
leave the land not belonging to them. In this case, peace and
cooperation will settle in the region, and Armenia will be able to
join regional processes," Aliyev said in addressing participants in
the 4th conference of the heads of Azeri diplomatic missions abroad in
Baku on Friday.
Azerbaijan will not allow Armenia's involvement in any economic,
energy, or transportation project until the conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh is settled, he said.
"We have isolated them, which we do not conceal. This policy should be
continued in the future," he said, adding that the policy has proven
to be productive.
Armenia is dragging out the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict and has repeatedly thwarted opportunities for settling it in
the past, he said.
Aliyev urged the ambassadors to work to persuade the legislative
bodies of the countries where they are deployed to recognize the 1992
massacre in Xocali as genocide.
